great service starts WITH UNDERSTANDING
At Rice Financial Group we offer two primary styles of service for our clients, Fundamental Financial Solutions (Traditional) or Strategic Financial Planning (Ongoing). We are a fee-based, full disclosure, financial services firm. What this means is that we charge a fee for our time for our fiduciary financial planning and for the investment accounts we manage. We also get paid when our clients choose to implement insurance or investment products or services through us. Since we are fiduciaries, we believe the first two meetings outlined below must be completed free of charge so that we can determine what is in your best interest.
